Make your own lemon pepper seasoning with just three ingredients: lemon zest, black pepper, and kosher salt. This seasoning is perfect for adding zesty flavor to chicken, seafood, and more.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lemons, large
  • 1 1/2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Grate the lemons, being careful to leave as much of the white pith behind as possible.
    A person grates a lemon over a baking tray lined with parchment paper. A wooden bowl with another lemon sits to the side on a bright yellow surface.
  • Add the lemon zest to the parchment lined baking sheet and spread into as thin of a layer as you can. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until zest is dry. Let cool on counter for 20-30 minutes, until completely cool to the touch.

  • Add the zest to a jar with the black pepper and kosher salt. Add the lid and shake to mix.
